Oh! I have the answer to Qn 3.
Someone/thing: "You never learn the difference between boiling and evaporation meh?" "aileen ah.. nv revise..."
Oh well....

Now I have another qn..
What do you get when you mix a human, mouse and goat together? =)
Do you get a human freak? mouse freak? or a goat freak?
Would you rather just dissolve it or let it live?

For me I would erm................. =)

I was wondering, who actually read my blog everytime? It's quite scary to see someone I wasn't close to link me without asking for my permission.. But anyway there's nothing much to hide.. It just makes me cringe thinking someone you don't know actually knows about you.. Haha..

I have some questions tonight.
1) Why is the switch for the water heater needs a relatively large amount of energy to press?

2) Why do they have to wrap slices of cheese in plastic which is so hard to open?? As in there are a few 'stages' to opening it.. Skill is required. Mine often ends up with a few crumbs here and there..

3) If the boiling point for water is 100 degree Celsius then how can a lake dry up? (not too hard for cp perhaps)

4) What happens if you fall into the slit of the ground after an earthquake?

5) Why is love so complicating...

6) Are all good things worth the wait?

7) How is it that you can love and yet dislike someone at the same time??

8) Why do tears form when you cry? Why do you even cry when you feel sad? Isn't there other ways to express your sadness..

Okok I shall stop here.. As you can see, there's a weird trend in my flow of thought.. From logical to illogical? From answerable to unanswerable.. So I can conclude, as I begin to think too much, things will not make sense. Hence, don't think too much. =)

You must have heard of the earthquake in Indonesia.. and the upcoming volcano as well.. Sometimes I can't help but to think that some countries can never get out of poverty.. (too absolute?) We need the cooperation of Mother Nature. Indonesia is a beautiful country actually. The people are hospitable.. And I won't mind going back again.

Anyway, yesterday I went for a funeral with my dad.. It was our first time attending such event.. It was held in Living Sanctuary Brethen Church at Hougang. When I first stepped in I felt really at home, as in it was a very homely and inviting. Maybe cos it resembled the first church that I went, with typical classrooms and a small cafeteria. The funeral was for the pastor of that church who was knocked down by a motorcycle in Indonesia during a mission trip. That reminded me of how close I was in having the same fate as her.. If I took one extra step last friday morning, I'd have been flung off far by a motorcycle. I wouldn't know what would have become of me now.. You know it's just not typical of me to be so alert on a morning to cause myself to stop in time. And the motorcycle just zoomed past me without even slowing a bit. So that was how close and I thank God for protection.

Anyway back to the funeral..
I don't know who was that actually, neither did my dad.. It was his primary school friend's pastor. Though we didn't know the pst, we couldn't help but to grieve along with them.. The whole atmosphere was solemn, with occassional whines and cries from the kids. The eulogies were touching and throughout I was trying hard to subdue myself from crying (not used to crying in front of my dad la.) From what I heard, I've learnt a thing or two. People remember you for how much you have make a difference and touch their lives, not how much you earn or achieve. And that heros are not really the leaders but the ones who push the leader up.. They remembered her as an encourager, self-sacrificing and non-judgemental. So what kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?

We then moved to Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium. It was a neat and peaceful place. More hymns and eulogies.. Then we proceeded to the viewing hall. Imagine being surrounded by people who cried and weeped.. Not a nice feeling.. At the end of the day, I was emotionally exhausted and actually slept before 1. =)

P.S: There's a reason why some parents dislike their kids to ride a motorcycle. =) Recently, my dad nearly knocked into one as well.. A friend told the 2 most dangerous vehicles on the roads are motorcycles and........ taxis. =)

One thing always intrigues me.. Why is a social worker's salary so low?? I mean relatively low.. I know the name isn't very glam like a doctor's or a lawyer's. But social workers deals with psychological needs as much as a doctor with physical needs.. Or is it to say that physical needs are more important than psychological ones? But I think it can't be compared like that cos a doctor has more responsibilities.. =) But the idea is there.. =)

Peter said something that really hit me.. cos i was complaining to him that the salary is low.. the increment is not much..... and he said sth like if you do your best in it, ppl will start coming to you.. Like if you're a road sweeper.. be the best road sweeper.. Yea and since my passion is there I don't really mind the pay, but if I become the CEO or whatever I will make sure I up the salary first thing. Wahaha. Like it's so ironic? Social workers get peanuts and yet have to brighten up people's lives.. wahhaha.. So yes, passion is a must. =) If I ever get 3 As for my A level, I think I will go take social work as well... Maybe in future the demand for social workers will increase.. hehe.. Donno to be happy or sad though ;)

*It's ok to be different*

What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last day of the term..
Me and minshan actually sneaked out of school via the loose fence near the basketball court wahhahaah.. drama mama.. Have 2 red scratches at my back now.. wahha.. nvm it was so thrilling lor wahahha.. All of us were so not in the mood to study today.. Thank God it was only a short day.. Cos we ponned maths =) Pei minshan and zhaoying to JP.. ms actually went to pierce her ear! Nervousness wahha.. It actually felt like stapling the last time i did.. hahah..





















Sunrise outsite my window in the "Isolation Room"....
Every morning (if I manage to wake up early..) I will sit by the window and watch the sunrise while having my breakfast.. It's such a sight to behold.. Esp when the sky is red some days.. But in less than 30mins the whole sky is brightened already.. and it's time to change and go school. =)





















Yee Kiat with his new white specs!
hahaha.. I really like it a lot leh. Think it suits him very much.. Nice hor? =) Had cg meeting just now.. Man it was really good la.. The presence of God was SO strong la.. All of us were so touched by God and were crying.. I mean at that moment you will just feel that your strength is just so puny compared to God's.. that.. what you have is really nothing compared to God.. That's why we need Him.. =)

*It's ok to dream big and be laughed at*

Oh dear~ I actually forgot to set my alarm clock~ Woke up at 1030 today! So power. It was the bright light that woke me up and I was thinking "Erm.. what day izzit?" wahha.. So blur. Things like that happen once in a blue moon ya? =) Was studying for the Spelling Bee last night.. Didn't manage to get into the finals! 1400 words imagine.. I don't even know how i managed to get into the semifinals wahahha.. anyway, I wanna congratulate BIRD for getting in!!!!!!!! So watch out for her on stage!!! She ah.. gingko nut lover ah.. Her memory is power.. She's a bird but she doesn't have a bird brain! I'm a squid so forgivable =) Never good at spelling (henry should know) and memorizing.. So most of the time I don't rememeber trivial things like what clothes u wear..

Anyway, don't you think it's very boring to keep talking behind people's back? Or listen to people talk behind their backs.. I will feel bored la.. Criticise criticise criticise............. Like there's no other interesting things to talk about in this beautiful world? =) Hais.. Like what do we gain at the end of the conversation... Not edifying at all. My motto: If I have nothing nice to say, shut up. Ok still trying to adhere to that though wahah.. Help me ok? If I complain/grumble too much tell me to shut up hahaha.. I like people to correct me.. reasonably.. That's the way to grow what.. hor? =)

*It's ok to fall..*

Min min! Glad you're coping well.. Continue to stay strong k. So proud of you! =) Don't forget you still have friends who care and love you!
Hugs,
Ducky

Hey min, I feel sorry for what happened.. But I think that you're really courageous.. Never would I ever do what you did.. I know you're a strong girl and yes I believe you can make it through the rain! Just call me when you need someone to talk to. =)

After school me linda xenia went to queensway to order class tshirt.. Very drama mama laa... Long story ah.. Leave it to yusu to tell you all.. hahaha.. Me and her ended up having our dinner at 9 at the coffeeshop near school.. Had to ken suan mei in the bus.. wahah.. so wei da right? haha... Don't say I treat you all bad ah... *grIn* Esp you-know-who.. haha..

*It's ok to walk round and round..*

Oh I just thought of this.. Ever wonder why life is like a rollercoaster ride? Sometimes it gets you feeling so high.. and the next moment it slams you right down.. At times you don't even have time to gasp for air! Let me use the analogy of a dugong/mermaid.. or rather its/her tail.. To get into another destination it/she needs to move its/her tail up and down.. Same for us, we need situations that bring us both high and low to move on in life.. So if you feel that you are constantly living in a lalaland where everything seems to float by you so smoothly then you should start questioning if you're erm actually living? hahaha..

*It's ok to feel down*

Ahhhhhhh guess what time I slept last night??? 4am! (or rather this morning) madnessss... I couldn't sleep! Cos I took an extra long nap before that.. wahha.. anyway, today is the mark of a chem prac-less life ahead.. YES! No more chemistry practicals FOREVER! =D Just regurgitated out this morning for an hour.. So during Gp after that I was kinda shagged.. as well as for the rest of the day.. So i will tend to talk nonsense.. And I mean it.. I didn't even know what was I talking esp during GP.. wahhaha.. And during bio course I was suddenly particularly interested in mouse wahhaha.. Don't blame me hor xls =D Hormonal changes.. =)

Tmr is bio prac.. Another vomiting session.. So tonight i'm gonna feed myself crazy with those notes.. and my friend actually suggested to start a bonfire after prac.. Burn all our notes wahha.. And and after school guess where I'm going?! JAMMING!!! So cool can?! My first time la.. whha.. Tiang called me ytd cos they were looking for a keyboardist.. I told him I nv play a keyboard before.. as in those chords.. But nvm there's a start to everything! =D *loOking forward*

*It's ok to express your emotions*

So many tempatations recently.. Need to guard my heart well.. God help me!!

*It's ok to say no*

Sia la.. NDP rehearsal started already.. I have this friend inside who is the flag bearer! So proud of him! Erm.. ya he told me I should feel proud cos i know 1 out of the 34 flag bearers wahah.. sia la..... Actually since young I've admired those people marching in the parade.. Like so smart.. Now I know how they choose! mostly based on experience and physical appearance.. Height BMI built.. no wonder all have the same look whaha.. Erm.. remember when I was younger.. *so embarrassing to tell* I actually sang the national anthem and recited the pledge at HOME.. with PRIDE.. lol!!! goOdness.. Gone are those days.. Ah.. I believe it's not only me! LOL.. Cmon let's admit! lol~

*It's ok to wear white and red during National day*

I tried not to look...
There was this naggy feeling inside...
But I didn't look...

I was playing "Can't help falling in love" on the piano just now.. and goodness.. My hair literally stood.

Lyrics
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you.

Shall I stay would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you.

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are meant to be.

Take my hand
Take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

*It's ok to make a fool out of yourself*

Aww.. didn't get to meet my fuhua clique.. cos 2/5 couldn't make it.. But then again.. I wasn't informed of the chem remedial after school which ended at ard 5:15.. thanks XLS......... haha.. Nvm, I had dinner with my bro and dad instead and we went orchard shopping.. But I ended up shopping solo cos they wanted to see the guys' stuff.. Nvm.. Better! haha. Met again at Jack's place to eat.. It's become our family tradition to go there.. Only that branch.. The one at the side of citibank.. and it's our tradition to drink the mushroom soup there.. it's like shiok. haha..Bro threw tantrum.. so went home earlier.. oh weeeellll.......

Pst phil!! He's really cool. Friday's msg was about prayer.. I was totally impacted.. Sis JL always tells us.. "prayer is not about 'God i want this and that.. God bless me with this and that..'" Prayer is communicating (DIlogue) with God by giving Him your undivided attention.. A prayer can go like this "God I know your grace is sufficient for me, I want to learn to lean on Your strength.." "God, I'm not really good in this, but I know that nothing is impossible with You" "God if You want me to do this, I know You will provide a way for me." or simply " God, there's none like You.. I love You. Really!" =)

Life with God is just... exceptional.. It's really extraordinary! Sometimes when I reached home from school, i feel so helpless.. like i can't really catch up.. So I go into my room and start to cry.. and man.... God's presence will be in the room and I will be very comforted.. and have this peace in my heart. It's quite hard to explain the feeling except when we actually experienced it first-hand... And thank God I've been passing most of my tests now.. =)

As for the BV audition, I've decided to sing other songs.. cos the previous 2 are quite difficult given my blocked nose.. which came back when i had a cold.. So I'll be singing 'There's anointing in the air' (Chorus can be found in my friendster haha) and "Turn your eyes upon Jesus" I simply love the lyrics and it's simple-yet-nice melody.. Anyway I nv really like the lyrics of 'Becos of u' cos it's not really me to be so affected by a guy to do the things the lyrics says.. Haha.. Hmm.. Mariah Carey's songs are really nice but they are like so custom-made for only Mariah.. Very singer-unfriendly hahaha.. And oh yes! Yesterday when I turned on the TV on channel 5.. Guess who I saw?!?! Yup! MICHAEL BUBLE! He was having a concert.. and man.. that killer voice.... I blast my tv, so much so that I thot he was singing to me only... wahahaha.. He sings effortlessly and so naturally.. I simply love his voice! *cheers* I can safely say I like almost all his songs! Hope he comes back to Sg again for another concert! I will get the front seat and melt there.. =P

Anyway, I got into finals for 100m.. wahaha.. quite unbelievable for some right? haha..
Me: Sorry ankle! =P

*It's ok to be laughed at.*

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Happiness!! I'm going for a shopping trip with my dad tmr! Totally sponsored! =) !!!
Indeed, a little becomes much in the Master's hands.. PTL!

Meeting up a few of my sec. sch clique for dinner before that.. =) Haven't seen them for SOo long la.. Used to crap around so much in school.. Though at that time most of us didn't exactly like the school.. The 4 metal buttons on our uni.. Morning assembly.. combined humanities..... But we enjoyed laughing at long skirts and high socks... Bullying Lack... teasing each other abt our crushes (so shy) erm basically teasing everyone about anything wahhaha.. We were good at that la. One thing about sec school, there was always some rumours going around.. haha.. Forever~ Once a week there'd be a new couple formed.. some relationship break downs.. Some confessions.. Some rejections.. wahhaa.. And since we were the pioneers, we knew more or less everyone in school and so news spread very fast. =) Looking back there's a sense of nostalgia and I know that those times can only be replayed in my memory...
Why must the grass always seem greener on the other side??

*It's ok to smile at a stranger*

Corrinne May! I'm so fond of her now! Why didn't anyone told me how nice her voice and songs are.. Haha and the lyrics as well.. Very important.. Go check them out..

Sick today.. Bio prac doesn't help at all.. But thanks minmin for encouraging me.. =) And yes I will see a dentist real soon.. =P

How I miss those smiles
I was captivated
Certainly.
It was as if the whole world
Came to a standstill..
Then I was snapped back into reality
No, stop dreaming..
Those were not meant for you..

You know, most of the time I don't have anything in my mind.. Like I seldom 'talk to myself'.. I don't think a lot in a way.. So most of the time when I'm walking my mind's really blank. Am I normal or what? haha.. And most of the time I'm in my own world! But I'm still not oblivious of what is happening around me.. So if you hear me singing to myself..... Don't poke my bubble. hahaha.. I wish I can sing everywhere I go.. and that people will just ignore me.. But people always comment... So I restrict to just humming... I also like it when people sing to themselves.. Doesn't that make the world a much pleasant place? =) Doesn't matter if it's way out of tune! As long as the person is enjoying himself and liking that moment.. Go ahead! =)

But xiao lao shu.. thanks for that encouragement.. =) You know what la. I was quite surprised actually cos people seldom tell me that..

U know there's this song that goes like this "I'm.. I'm gonna soak up the sun.. gonna tell everyone to lighten up.." (that's about all I know) Yea. Life has so much more to offer... Woo, found another "singleton" recently hahaha.. My cg member.. 20 yrs old.. Cool~~ Nv has a bf.. Yea, must enjoy our singlehood now!!! That's like only 1/4 of our lives.. for the 3/4 you're gonna be stuck with a guy! I don't mind actually, if I really love him.. But isn't singlehood so fun?? No worries about that sort of things.. So free.. I donno what's the rush to get one.. haha.. Due to limited 'good' guys? Ah no no no I think there're plenty... But girls understand that a good guy doesn't mean he's suitable for her... Right? Maybe the 'lock and key' hypothesis works in this case as well? Hee..

"Because of you, I don't know how to let anyone else in.."
Excerpt from "Because of you"-Kelly Clarkson
Hmmm...
Silly? Maybe..

xiao ser and weiying
















NO NO NO!! It was meant to be a joke! I was kiddingly posing in front of the cam which was timed and tested for the grp pic, so I didn't know what happened behind me and 'click' the cam went off wahhaha.. Eeyerr... Sorry ah.. haha..














Ah... here you go.. N256!!!!!!

Hais, problematic throat.. and nose.. =(
Pls don't let anything happen when audition is nearing!!!!!
Maybe I should change the songs that I chose? Plan B.. cos I can't go high with a blocked nose and sore throat! =( Any suggestion???

Felt an urge to run today during pc.. so I ran 2 rounds.. Fatal mistake! My ankle swelled a little after that.. hais.. Why so fragile.. =(

Anyway Xenia she rocks... Never fail to brighten my day in school.. I'm a fan of her tapeworm! hahaha..

I told my dad about my 'brilliant' plan about the NAFA thingy last night.. He was quite surprised haha.. but he told me to go uni first to get my 'livelihood' (the cert..) then go NAFA.. Ok ya maybe that's better.. He had dinner with Mr Chay last night at h.v and Mr Chay advised me to go overseas to study and work.. More opportunities and gain more experience.. I was thrilled at the thought but then again.. who's gg to provide the finances!

Went to the sinseh ytd for the umpteenth time due to my left ankle.. Badly swollen.. The sinseh was a Chinese lady as in really from China haha.. she was good la.. 15 mins chop chop done.. =) But of cos it was painful la but shiok type.. Ok a bit ironic.. Finally get over and done with.. Next plan is to see the dentist.. =( Phobia!

borrowed a recorder from minshan today.. recorded a few pieces in.. But when I hear.. not very nice leh. Nvm.. Small beginning.. =) Wanna compile the nicer few then make into an album! hahaha.. Stay tune! hahahaha..

Today we talked about stress management during civics and I was thinking what kind of stress do I have?? I couldn't really think of anything to say so I said "buying presents"~ Lame laa.. But it can be quite leh. Especially when it's last minute and we have a budget.. and we don't know what the person wants.. Hor Bird? haha.. For me stress normally arises when I don't have enough time to do what I ought to do.. Other than that nothing much la.. sally mentioned "piano exam" which is more of nervousness for me la.. The environment doesn't do any help.. You go into this cold room with a piano and a table and chair for the ang moh examiner.. The examiner sits behind you as you play.. There's not even a window.. Aiyo. Why like that?

Yesterday was the track events.. and I got in 2nd! wahha.. U know why? Cos I was in the 2nd heat and there were only 4 girls! hahahaha.. So there were only 12 girls in the A division running 100m.. haha.. But shiok la. I like the type of adrenaline rush when the 'bang' goes off.. wahha.. However I sort of limited my own mindset cos I thought 100m is quite far and so I was afraid to really chiong at the beginning as my stamina is not that good.. Nvm try again on 3rd June! =)

And I haven't gotten over the thought of me going for bv audition!!! Goodness.. wahhaa.. Steph is teaching me how to listen for parts.. Something which I'm really weak in.. The audition requires us to listen for parts and sing it out! Goodness.. That's my main concern la.. But nvm I'm going to do my best anyway.. =)

I seriously can't wait for 23rd Nov to come!!! =( School is seriously restricting me in so many ways.. I wanna be a counsellor/social worker next time but my friend told me i'll be poor the rest of my life haha.. Come to think of it it's true to a certain extent.. The starting pay is around 2400, but the increment is not much lor. But I like what. I've thought of becoming a doctor/nurse as well.. But the way I see Jing memorises all the names of medicines, I was so turned off haha.. However my greatest dream is to be a pianist actually.. So I'm going to continue my piano lesson after my exam.. Actually a part of me wanna go NAFA like steph.. Should I follow my heart and break away from the norm of wanting to go NUS/NTU? I'm getting excited from the thought of gg nafa la! I'll get to learn so much more about music and piano.. and singing.. aww.. Ultimate.. then i'll be so much closer to my dreamS of being a BV and a pianist! How exciting la.. I'm smiling at the thought now la. hahaha.. =) Then me and steph can go around the world to perform.. LOL.. awww... Then I can give away free tickets to my concert.. LOL! Then must really set up AFC and find a manager.. hahaha.. Okok. Ultimate.. haha.. Doesn't hurt to dream big right? =) Promise me you'll come support me ok.. wahahaha.. I promise to sign on your shirt! LOL~
